Sept 6
Our last ride and our last packing up clothes in panniers. Today we get to our final destination,Budapest which was once two cities on each side of the river and back in 1872 when one side was called Buda and the south side called Pest they join to be one city called?
You guessed it; Budapest.
We left Viserad by 8'30 in the morning ,a little later than normal as we found Marlene had a flat tire in the morning  when we were getting ready to ride. We started out on a busy highway and then decided do an extra few k's down the center of a pretty little island and take the ferry back to the main road,little did we know that we think the ferry was built  in the same year that Budapest was amalgamated .

                                            WW11 bullet holes in the national security building

                                           Budapest Parliment Buildings on the Pest side

                                            A church inside a limestone mountain side

As we cycled further the road was good but busy and then we ended up on another dog path for several k's only to arrive at another section that was all patio stones through the middle of a forest. Who would have guessed. We finally arrived at our destination Budapest - a very beautiful city . As we biked  up the Buda side of the Danube  the Hungarian Parliament was very impressive to say the least. Tomorrow we plan to start playing tourists in Budapest with a guided 2 1/2 hour walking tour.
